How to put it together

  1. 1

    Step into the legs of the inflatable raptor suit or your custom scaled jumpsuit.

  2. 2

    Insert fresh AA batteries into the fan pack and secure the battery box to your waistband or pocket.

  3. 3

    Zip or fasten the suit completely to ensure an airtight seal around your neck, wrists, and ankles.

  4. 4

    Turn on the fan switch and wait approximately one to two minutes for the suit to fully inflate.

  5. 5

    Adjust the clear plastic viewing window for maximum visibility, or put on your raptor mask and claw gloves if using the non-inflatable version.

Makeup & hair

For inflatable suits, your face is hidden or framed, so no makeup is needed. If using an open-face mask, apply dark green and brown face paint around your eyes to blend in with the reptile scales.

Tips

  • Always carry a spare set of AA batteries; inflatable fans typically run for about four hours on a single set.
  • Wear lightweight, moisture-wicking clothing underneath the suit, as inflatable costumes can trap heat quickly.
  • Practice walking and turning around in open spaces before your event, as the tail adds extra length behind you.

Raptor costume FAQ

How does the inflatable raptor costume stay inflated?
A small, battery-operated fan clips onto your belt or pocket and continuously blows air into the sealed suit while you wear it.
Can you see and breathe easily inside the suit?
Yes, the costume features a clear plastic viewing window or a mesh screen at the neck/head area for visibility and ventilation.
How do you sit down in an inflatable dinosaur costume?
You can sit carefully by letting some air escape, but it is easiest to stand or deflate the suit temporarily if you need to sit for long periods.

Did you know? The iconic screech of the Velociraptors in the 1993 Jurassic Park movie was actually created by mixing the sounds of tortoises mating, dolphins, and hissing geese.
